Based on my recurve experience. There is often little relevance of the distance. If you're looking for greater helical rotation, you're better off using spinning fletches or even angling your flet...
Get lucky If you don't know where the exit is, getting out of a cave is a matter of luck. If you have watched T.V. you have seen people using a flame to check for a breeze, but in reality, there ...
I'm from the recurve world but have heard loads about freestyle shooting. I know of two advantages for shooting with 3 under (only one for instinctive) Having a 3-under allows for string walking...
General Answer Sterling Accessory Cord is probably somewhat ideal for your weight specs while still being a reasonable price. Stronger than what you are looking and from a very reputable brand. I ...
The slackline goes through the center drum to hold it in place. Better than editing a picture, you can see how it works from this video at 0:49. Basically you have to provide a bit of tension, so t...
Slack lining is actually a lot easier in the beginning the shorter your line is, as there will be less movement of the line (side-to-side wobble or up-and-down bouncing). There isn't really a minim...
Assuming you have no way of safely and reliably leaving the cave to get help, your first priority is not to become a casualty yourself as well. Even if the Guide needs urgent medical attention, it...
As long as you are permitted to do the camping I would not worry too much for the boars. However, make sure that you have a wild animal to worry about more: Homo sapiens. However, when selecting ...
The single most efficient food in terms of calories and protein per gram is peanut butter. In pure form, fats have 9 cal/g, protein 4 cal/g, and carbs a bit less than protein. I pack as much of i...
Think in terms of the superfoods like beans, rice and nuts. These are fairly lightweight because most of the moisture has been removed. Add some jerky to the list and you can create some wonderful ...
In brief: Drybags or sturdy trash bags (trash compactor bags are good), and a splashproof flashlight you can keep at hand if you want to paddle in low light. You are going to have a blast! Dawn ...
I'd very much recommend using a GriGri or one of the newer device with the same mechanism. Reason being, the braking mechanism is not dependent on the position of the braking hand. Thus you can pul...
Ask them to slow down since their speed is affecting your ability to provide a belay. Don't deviate from your standard belay method
If they're top-roping (or when you need to pull in a LOT of slack lead belaying) you can take your hand off the load side and put both on the brake side. Then you can pull hard and straight away fr...
To the question Is a slackline, ratchet, and tree protector alone enough equipment to setup the slackline? The answer is yes, provided the kit is built for that purpose. In actuality, you co...
Special devices: @imsodin is right in suggesting a GriGri. For the method: The common trick is to have two "belayers." One attaches the GriGri on their harness as usual. The second person stand...
I'd try one or both of the following: REI. At least one employee in the store should have some knowledge. And you can always return within a year if there is a problem with no questions asked. Th...
The description is one red flag for me, as it displays no knowledge about the product: It mixes general or over the top advertisement statements ("MAXIMUM SAFETY") with facts that have nothing to d...
The idea of the training line is three fold: It puts your arms in the correct position. This helps you use better form. It gives you the ability to "push off" the line with your arms, allowing yo...
How much margin due to charging inefficiency should I add when calculating the size of batteries needed for a trip? You need approximately 50% more due to inefficiencies while charging from a powe...
I recommend either making camp coffee (or cowboy coffee I see it referred to) or bringing an aeropress. They are light, probably around 200 grams and easy to clean and operate. Grind the coffee in ...
As long as you can pre-grind the beans, why not make a kind of tea bag with a coffee filter? Measure the appropriate amount of coffee and fold/staple the filter closed around it. Steep for an appro...
Another alternative, similar to cowboy coffee, but a bit more refined is a Turkish style cezve (AKA ibrik). These are usually made of super thin copper and are light enough to pack. For these you...
My solution is the same arrangement I use at home. I use a Porlex hand grinder to grind the beans, and an Aeropress to do the extraction. The Porlex mini grinder (https://www.porlexgrinders.com/co...
If you're an espresso purist you could try a minipresso. They're a hand powered esspresso machine. I was introduced to them by a climbing guide who actually climbed with one and brewed up on top of...
